In the first half of the 19th century, it was in possession of Baron Redl. In the second half of the 19th century, Rastina was not regarded as a separate settlement but as part of Stanišić, while until the end of the Second World War, it was regarded as part of Riđica. It was officially proclaimed a separate settlement after the World War II. After the World War I, Rastina was settled by volunteers from Lika and Herzegovina.
